hay Steve; ant question?????
built your 10:1 balum about 2 months ago. use it
on a long wire, about 110 ft from the house/ down the middle of the back yard. works great. now for the question! picked up a dx-ultra/alpha delta at the last hamfest. new in the bag for $50. not bad. this ant is made to run as an inverted V. coax off the center. if i hang the center about 10 ft above my roof off a tripod, and run the 2 legs to the left and right side of my back yard/ the long wire will be about 10 ft below the center and the legs will go off to the sides about 35 degrees. (whew!) the question is will the long wire have any affect on the inverted V? i know for transmit this would be bad/ how bout only receive? hope i explained this so you can understand what i mean... thanks Steve... Drifter... |

Drifter... I don't think it will have much effect if the wires on the dipole cross the wire at pretty much right angles. Though there could still be a bit of residual pick up I don't think you'd notice it. Do some experimentation if you can by disconnecting and/or dropping the wire and see what happens.

Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B why would anyone listen to a horses ass such as yourself? He's got alot of technical knowledge but he seems to have the social skills of a Neanderthal. Typical ham, probably a loner who can't communicate on a one to one basis. No family because he can't relate to anyone else except himself. That's why he uses radio and this medium to communicate with others. If he insulted people in real life the way he does here he would be put in his place with a good shot to the face. |

thanks Steve. see what you mean. if it appears there is
an interaction, i could drop the long wire 10 ft and clear the V by 20 ft, and still have the long wire 20 ft off the ground. if i can get the grand kids over this weekend, we'll give her a try. the long wire is tied off to a pulley, so i can take her up or down. thanks Steve, have a great 4th... Drifter... |

Drifter... DRIFTER, "the legs will go off to the sides about 35 degrees." Naturally looking from the Side your Inverted "V" is an Inverted "V". Question: Looking from the Top/Bottom is your Antenna "Flat" (in a Straight Line) or is it also "V"ed ? iwtk ~ RHF .. |
